Other than that game is great ### 4/5 — Great game *2026-05-27, version 1.1.3* Please update the game the latest packs are not out right now but otherwise it’s a really fun game if you want to open packs without the stress of having to grind coins to get the packs ### 5/5 — Are there packs resealed? *2026-05-26, version 1.1.3* Love it ### 4/5 — Great app, few problems *2026-05-18, version 1.1.3* Only 2 problems I encountered were McDonald packs don’t work, and the cards sometimes don’t work. Also, it would be great if you add an option to rip so we can see the pack art. Great game, Keep doing what you’re doing. Edit: also, some gym challenge cards seem to say /138 when there’s only 132 ### 5/5 — Very cool *2026-05-17, version 1.1.3* When I first started Pokémon games I was playing this after ### 5/5 — Gameplay *2026-05-13, version 1.1.3* This game is very good since I don’t have a lot of money and like opening packs but it says every cards price is null so if that would be fixed so I could know my collections worth it’s would be a lot cooler also Japanese sets would also be pretty cool ### 5/5 — Something to say about vivid voltage *2026-05-08, version 1.1.3* I think it’s broken. Why, you ask? I got a coalossal vmax and an aegislash v back to back. Maybe not broken, but at least a little glitched. GREAT NO AWESOME GAME THO also GIMME A FRESH START MAKE A DELETE COLLECTION BUTTON PLS AND TY ### 4/5 — ! *2026-05-07, version 1.1.3* I love it the infinite pack opening and idk if it’ll be possible but it’ll be great to sell the cards too ### 5/5 — Awesome idea *2026-05-06, version 1.1.3* I love that you can choose any series and set and that when you pull a good card you can click on it and it tells you the value and other stuff, but sometimes it doesn't have the price. Also the hit rates are not realistic so that is another flaw. Overall my favorite pack simulator. ### 4/5 — Poke tgc sim *2026-05-03, version 1.1.3* Such a fun game but I think you should add the pack ripping at the start when u open a pack to simulate real life and also should add an online trading option ### 4/5 — The best *2026-05-01, version 1.1.3* Such a good card opening simulator. It is very realistic but I wish there was a pack opening animation and price estimations for newer sets. There is one bug where the red victini from black bolt / white flare is just a rare which makes it super obtainable but either way this is the best Pokémon card opening simulator. No limit to how many packs you can open is something I love about it. Great game! ### 4/5 — Great app, few problems *2026-04-26, version 1.1.3* Only 2 problems I encountered were McDonald packs don’t work, and the cards sometimes don’t work. Also, it would be great if you add an option to rip so we can see the pack art. Great game, Keep doing what you’re doing. ### 5/5 — I love this *2026-04-26, version 1.1.3* this is a great game to open some of your favorite pokemon cards and packs, and it’s completely free. But something I would love to have added to this app is japenese cards and packs, settings, and collections to add the cards you get to view and for others to view. But other from that the app is great for everyone who loves pokemon TCG ### 5/5 — Fantastic game but a few issues *2026-04-14, version 1.1.3* This game is incredible but ive already found that some earlier sets such as both gym sets and neo genesis have the wrong number of cards making it impossible to complete the sets and get the badges if this could be fixed that would be pretty neat. ### 2/5 — Big project done poorly *2026-04-07, version 1.1.3* I have to say something like this existing I’m a big fan of but this app is so poorly optimized lettered with bugs and ads that ruined the experience some of the packs simply don’t work some cards have the wrong artwork for the set it’s in its jest a mess and a shame it was not put more work into ### 5/5 — Love the game! *2026-03-18, version 1.1.3* Only downside is some packs you can’t fully master set and on celebrations you don’t know if u pullled something good ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-03-13, version 1.1.3* so i love pokemon i mean i can name every every pokemon every trainer and every set every but i dont have money for packs so when i found this app to open packs FOR FREE and NO ADDS it felt like a dang miracle ### 5/5 — good game some minor issues *2026-03-13, version 1.1.3* I really like this game but there are some missing pieces, when I tried the McDonald’s sets they didn’t work, and also there are some missing sets like the pop series ones. It would also be cool to add Japanese sets eventually too! ### 5/5 — Gym heroes *2026-02-28, version 1.1.3* Gym heroes cards say #/132 but the set is out of 138 so I’m not able to complete the set please fix this I’m trying to complete all the sets ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fix the game *2025-12-28, version 1.1.3* Used to play all the time, just installed it recently and it just shows a white screen. ### 1/5 — Still getting ads *2025-08-11, version 1.1.3* Im still getting ads, even after paying for “premium elite” ### 1/5 — Doesn’t show cards *2025-02-23, version 1.1.3* Needs to be fixed ### 1/5 — Prismatic evo? *2025-01-20, version 1.1.3* When’s it coming out? ### 1/5 — FINALLY FREE DOPAMINE *2024-06-11, version 1.1.3* Please make it so you can open them faster like have them face the front and have the reverse rares be distinguishable from the holos ### 1/5 — Fun but drains battery quick *2023-01-27, version 1.1.0* Why does such a simple app drain my battery so quickly? I can see my percentage going down in real time and my phone heats up uncomfortably. There's something I don't trust about that ### 1/5 — PLEASE READ. *2023-01-10, version 1.1.0* this app has so much potential. but you need to make a collection place where you can see all ur cards in total, and how many you have of them. you also need to make the pack opening and swiping over more realistic ### 1/5 — Cards aren’t loading *2023-01-06, version 1.0.7* I open a pack and as I’m swiping through all the cards are white and I can’t see any of them. They also don’t appear in my binder it’s all blank. Not super enjoyable when I can’t see what I’m getting. ### 1/5 — The cards don’t appear *2023-01-06, version 1.0.7* Once I tap the first few cards they are just white pictures and nothing else but the last two are visible. I’m wondering if I can be told how to fix this? ### 1/5 — Good concept. cards don’t load. Only blank white *2023-01-06, version 1.0.7* Wish cards loaded. Just downloaded a couple days ago. Will keep to see if it gets fixed. iOS is up to date. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2026-08-19, version 1.1.3* Love using this sim! ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-15, version 1.1.3* W this app is free and is just as fun as opening real packs ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-07-28, version 1.1.3* DONT READ THIS REVIEW JUST DOWNLOAD IT ALREADY 💅🤑💅 ### 5/5 — The best collector pack opening game! *2026-07-14, version 1.1.3* 1.its free! 2. Unlimited packs! 3. It goes from chaos rising all the way to BASE SET!!!! I recommend this by 1000%! ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-11, version 1.1.3* Really fun you don’t have to wait or pay for packs and I got a 390 dollar card for free it’s is really fun ### 5/5 — So good *2026-07-06, version 1.1.3* I luv Thz gam ### 5/5 — Did it *2026-07-03, version 1.1.3* I completed Stormfront ### 5/5 — I like the app!!! :3 *2026-06-16, version 1.1.3* It has everything I need and the ui is very good!!! >:D ### 5/5 — Great Sim *2026-05-31, version 1.1.3* Overall this card pack sim is great and exactly what I wanted. I was going to suggest a way to see how many picks I have opened, but then I found it. The only other suggestions I have is adding something that shows what cards I could get and what the chances are. Sometimes the cards don’t show when I flip but I’ve found that only happens if I flip too fast. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-05-30, version 1.1.3* this is a good app. You should add Japanese version set to Butt there is one thing off the McDonald’s sets that do not work and all the newest sets aren’t really updated but overall this is awesome --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
